Our Program

At Leola's Ark Enrichment Center II, we combine research-backed education with modern family communication to support children from infancy through school age. We utilize the nationally recognized Creative Curriculum and Brightwheel, an inquiry-based approach that transforms everyday moments into powerful learning opportunities. Through project-based studies and hands-on exploration, our dedicated staff nurtures confidence, creativity, and critical thinking skills at every developmental stage.

 

Stay Connected

We believe that a strong partnership between home and school is essential for your child's growth. We provide several ways to keep you updated, engaged, and connected throughout your child's day.

🌟 Daily Updates & Direct Messaging

Stay in the loop with real-time updates! We use Brightwheel, where teachers share photos, developmental milestones, and daily reports on meals and naps. You can also send direct messages to your child's teachers anytime.

📧 Monthly Newsletters

Every month, we send out our "LAEC II" newsletter. It highlights the fun activities we will do, introduces our weekly themes, and includes important reminders for upcoming events.

 

 

At our center, we provide a continuous learning journey from infancy through the school-age years. Our age-appropriate classrooms are designed to nurture your child’s development, spark curiosity, and build a lifelong love for learning.
